Film ON AIR

Bruce Willis might play veteran commentator Murray Walker in a biopic about the Formula 1 hero Michael Schumacher. “A Hollywood producer is interested,” the Daily Star quotes Weber “and the film would be called The Michael Schumacher Story, with him as the main actor. Bruce Willis would certainly do Murray justice.”

Walker became famous for his strange and memorable comments. He retired in 2001 and an insider says Bruce Willis “insists the sport hasn’t been the same since Murray retired in 2001. If you pop a pair of glasses on Bruce, the similarity to a younger Murray Walker is amazing.”

Walker was “shell-shocked” about the news, initially calling it a late April Fools’ joke. “I always regarded Bruce Willis as a mirror image of myself, don’t you know – a much younger version, though,” he joked.

Ewan McGregor joins the ‘Da Vinci Code’ team for the prequel ‘Angels & Demons.’ Again directed by Ron Howard, with Tom Hanks as the leading man, the gang will start shooting next June.

McGregor plays the Vatican insider, assisting Tom Hanks with unraveling what’s going on in the Catholic Church. Naomi Watts is also attached to the project, which will be ready for the blockbuster summer of 2009.

Hanks is reportedly getting a record deal for this prequel. With an $35 million upfront and a $15 million extra if it does well at the box office. You must hate making a prequel if you request that kind of money.

Apparently, when Gisele Bündchen was talking about her appearance in ‘Austin Powers 4,’ it was just some wishful thinking. Boston.com ran an article on how she’d already gotten the script and her agent met with Mike Myers and director Jay Roach.

All bs, Seth Green says. “Gisele…the model??” he (almost) screamed. “If a script for ‘Austin Powers 4’ gets written and then it gets greenlit by whatever version of New Line is still making movies, and everybody agrees to do it, then we’ll have something to talk about.”

There have been rumors about ‘Austin Powers 4′ since the day part 3 got made. Mike Myers has talked about it on and off at press conferences, but nothing official came out of it. Now all hope gets squashed again, thanks Gisele!

Now we know ‘Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins’ isn’t canned, it looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger is up for a role if he would be asked. “I’ve never had a dialogue with anyone about it. But if they shoot the movie in California, I would, yes,” he told contactmusic.

I can’t imagine Christian Bale and director McG (what’s in a name, eh) not willing to have Schwarzenegger having some sort of role. But since it’s shooting next month, this might be a good time to have a talk with the bodybuilder. Let’s get this ball rollin’!
